We have some good young players who have been improving and developing well and it is good to see the way the team is doing against England which is the number one ODI side,” he said.

I have talked to captain Jason Holder and others and I believe this team will be a threat to all teams in the World Cup which is going to be a very open tournament this time,” Bravo added.
